Some people enjoy making other people angry.
Some people enjoy hitting/useing violence against other people.
Some people enjoy loving other people.
Some people enjoy giving to other people.
Its ALL ego. Its all a chemical manifested sense of self that cause actions and reactions.
Emotions are not true self.

Well for the record, you don't make me all that angry anymore.
It is a bit frustrating whenever I put forth a lot of effort into offering information to shed light on a mystery and you and others come a long and dismiss it all off hand.
But if you see my responses I take it all rather well, imo.
I don't see many others reacting to you in anger either.
Maybe it's you who is projecting...
Then why, last night, when I called an argument you made, "Bullshit"... did you respond by telling me I must be, "So full of myself"?
My comment was about your argument in that bullshit POST... your response was about ME... and totally against the rules of this forum, BTW.
I don't have to be tactful, to remain within the rules.
Don't worry, I'll live... and I will continue to argue my points without needing to personally attack you in return.
But it IS worth mentioning. Mr. Moderator.
I said "It must be nice to be SO sure of yourself." It wasn't said out of anger and I certainly don't think it was against the rules.

It was an argument about me. It was unfounded. Check the stinking rules. For Pete's sake... there's only like, TWO in here.
I am not calling for your head on a plate. I am just debunking another of your bullshit posts.
You said you don't do that.
I said you did EXACTLY that, LAST NIGHT.
You just now confirmed it.
And yet... your ego won't allow you to admit you were wrong. Not last night. Not today.
This is as, "On topic" as it gets.
I admit when I am wrong. Case and point. I thought you said, "Full". I was wrong. You really said, "Sure".

Woops I hit edit instead of reply on your post.
I said I don't do what? Get angry? I didn't.
You may have been hearing more emotion in my words than I put in. Communicating here is sometimes like shouting from afar...
There's a big difference between "Full of yourself" and "Sure of yourself"
"Full of yourself" would be a personal attack and against the rules.
"Sure of yourself" was simply an observation.
Sigh, I have better things to do...

Then I hope you won't mind that I am going to re-insert the line you edited out of it.
First, I APOLOGIZED for my mistake... then, my post ended with me saying, "I admit when I am wrong. Perhaps that is what makes me so superior."
Thanks for, "Accidentally" editing it.

Can I assume that those are also projections of your own ego? Personally, I don't get angry at your large ego anymore. I just find it amusing. Sometimes I think P&S might as well be called The Swami Show™. You obviously relish the spotlight, and apparently have some need to be the center of attention. That in itself is not necessarily a bad thing(though it can get annoying sometimes). But frankly, I don't think it's merely projection to detect some condescension in your posts, especially when you make up derogatory terms like "the fluffy crowd" or "mystic-heads." You do seem to have a sense of the superiority of your belief system(BS) over that of others. That is not a judgment. That is an observation.
However, while I do not think I am merely projecting this onto you, I do recognize that all these traits make up my shadow(in the Jungian sense), and thus rather than get mad at you, I try to forgive these things within myself. That makes it easier to forgive the same traits in others. I forgive you.
Wow! You should be a shrinkologist, that is right on. I sure am glad I'm nothing like the Swami. He's just old and bitter as his dreams have all collapsed around him and we are where he dumps all that bitterness. I could go on and on.

Despite your insight, this post is against the rules.

Silly, I know, but that's how some people play it.
I have to lock this thread.
OC, next time you open one like this (commenting on forum members) I'm just going to go ahead and delete it.
Ok, back to Spiritualizing and Philosophization...
